It’s time for another recipe in the Appetite for Inspiration cooking event series.
I’ve never really been a big fan of Sloppy Joes (something about those Manwhich commercials when the little boy gets the stuff all over his face…yuck!) but these have a nice, smoky Southwestern flavor.
I didn’t get to make these, so I don’t have my usual step-by-step recipe photos. But I did get to taste them and yum!
The recipe seems easy to follow and I think this would be a great meal for those of you with children to feed.
